For the first leg of the promotion play-off semi-final between Sporting Gijon and Alaves, Spain's National Radio decided to broadcast it live to all of Spain on its free channel.
Previously, Spanish National Radio 5 broadcast live broadcasts of Sporting de Gijon, and some of them were broadcast live on their paid channels. Although such games are also broadcast live to the whole country, only paying users can watch them. Only games broadcast live on free channels
, the audience will be more.
The first leg of the promotion play-off semi-final between Sporting Gijon and Alaves can be said to have attracted the attention of many Spanish fans.
This is mainly because in the European Cup in Portugal, their home team the Spanish national team has been eliminated from the group and went home in despair. In the third game of the group stage, the Spanish team lost to the host Portugal 0-1, and they finally played against the Greek team
Tied with four points, but one goal difference less than the Greek team, they could only return home in this depressing way.
Spain is out of the European Cup. Now La Liga has ended long ago. The new season is still far away. Looking at the entire Spanish football world, only the La Liga promotion play-offs are still going on. Those who are not willing to watch other European teams in the European Cup.
Spanish fans have set their sights on the promotion play-offs.
"Alaves midfielder Natexio has returned from injury. He will be able to participate in the promotion play-offs with Sporting Gijon. This is good news for Alaves."
"Alaves forward Navarro refuted the idea that the team is afraid of playing against Sporting Gijon. He said that although Alaves was eliminated by Sporting Gijon in the Copa del Rey, during this season, Alaves
They met Sporting Gijon four times in the league and cup, and they won three of them, including a 6-0 away game against Sporting Gijon in the league. Therefore, he believes that Alaves will be better when facing Sporting Gijon.
There are psychological advantages.”
On the day of the match, in the afternoon, some pre-match news from the two teams was already being broadcast on the TV news. Players from Alaves who had already arrived in Gijon also spoke out, expressing their confidence in winning away from home.
"Alaves coach McCarronal expressed his determination to surpass Alaves and advance to the promotion play-off final."
Alaves' head coach McCarronal also stood up and expressed his confidence in the team's promotion.
Li Ang was sitting in the hotel lobby at this time, looking at the rear projection TV in the lobby, where the bald head coach of Alaves was talking.
"What are you thinking about?" Banderas asked.
"I'm thinking, if we eliminate Alaves, this guy will also lose his job." Li Ang said with a smile.
Banderas burst out laughing. Although he had just joined Sporting Gijon as an assistant coach not long ago, he also knew the grudge between Leon and Alaves. The first game that Leon led the team was a four-point victory in the Copa del Rey.
In the second round of the final, they defeated Alaves 3-0 at home and eliminated Alaves with the advantage of away goals. After Alaves was eliminated, their then head coach Olic
Fired by the club.
In a sense, Macronal, the current head coach of Alaves, can become the head coach of Alaves, thanks to Leon.
"I just heard that you also have the nickname 'Coach Killer'." Banderas joked.
Since Li Ang coached Sporting Gijon, or to be precise, since he coached Sporting Gijon's B team, he has made three colleagues, including Alaves' former coach Olic, lose their jobs.
"It's my honor." Li Ang grinned, showing his big white teeth.
***********
At this time, players also appeared in the hotel lobby one after another.
Everyone gathered around the head coach.
About five minutes later, Li Ang looked at his watch and saw that everyone had arrived, about ten minutes earlier than the agreed time. Everyone's discipline was now very good, and he was very satisfied.
"Let's go, let's set off!" Li Ang stood up and said.
Under his leadership, everyone filed out of the hotel lobby.
Almost at the same time, Alaves players also left their hotel and set off for El Molinon Stadium.
When the Sporting Gijon bus arrived at the stadium, the fans who had been waiting outside the stadium burst into loud cheers.
They chanted the names of Li Ang and some players over and over again, cheering them on.
They couldn't help but be excited. After being stuck in La Liga for many years, they finally saw the opportunity to return to La Liga.
The players are also very excited. A few months ago, they were still very likely to be relegated. There was a sense of disunity within the team and there was a sense of uncertainty.
Now, they are about to play in the promotion play-offs and are very likely to reach La Liga. This feeling of going from hell to heaven is great.
The bus drove all the way from the main team's dedicated channel, and then stopped at the entrance of the channel.
The players filed out and did not accept interviews from the reporters who had been waiting there.
Li Ang finally got out of the car, and he was immediately surrounded by reporters. In fact, these reporters wanted to hear what the head coach had to say more than interviewing the players.
In a team, the important players of the team, especially the top star, are the most interesting to the media and fans. However, this situation is an exception in Sporting Gijon. The biggest star of this team is the most important.
Strikingly, the most influential person is actually their head coach.
"Seth (head coach of the Spanish national team) refused to resign. What do you think of this matter? Coach Li Ang."
"You should ask Mr. Vera (President of the Spanish Football Federation) about this." Leon said as he walked away.
"Coach Li Ang, can you tell me why you are optimistic about Greece? You must know that their strength is quite average."
"Greek football is very unique."
"Mr. Torres (President of Getafe Club) said that he would prefer that his team meet Sporting Gijon in the play-offs. What do you have to say about this?"
"He may get his wish, but of course it depends on whether they can get past Huelva."
"So, you are very confident that Sporting Gijon will eliminate Alaves?"
"We have eliminated them once, and there will naturally be a second time."
"However, Mr. McCronal, the head coach of Alaves, said that his team will definitely advance. What do you think?"
"Everyone has the right to pursue victory and dreams." Li Ang said as he walked.
He reached the entrance of the passage, then stopped and said to the large number of reporters who had been following him, "Okay, gentlemen, see you later."
Then these reporters watched the Chinese wave to them coolly, and then disappeared into the passage...
***********
In the home team's locker room at El Molinon Stadium.
Li Ang looked at his players and explained the tactical issues again. Now is the final pre-war mobilization.
Assistant coach Scott Terry has repeatedly reminded him that it's time to play.
"Okay, guys." Li Ang clapped his hands, "I won't say anything unnecessary. I will only say one last thing!"
The players are looking at their head coach.
"The Alaves said that this season, they played us four times and beat us three times. They are not afraid of us." Leon said, and then he paused.
"What I want to say is, go to ****!" Li Ang suddenly raised his voice, "I only know that my team dealt with them severely last time! Now, since some people don't have long memories,
, then, you know what to do?!"
"Kill them!" Everyone shouted together, their hearts boiling. In fact, the Alaves said that they faced Sporting Gijon four times and defeated them three times. This really made some players feel worried, but,
At this moment, they only have strong self-confidence in defeating their opponents, because they understand the meaning of the coach's words. The previous Sporting Gijon team's poor record against Alaves was nothing. After coach Liang took over
In the team's first game, they defeated their opponent 3-0, and now they are invincible in the league. Now, it is their opponent Alaves who should be afraid!
Li Ang nodded, very satisfied with the current atmosphere.
"What are you waiting for?" Li Ang waved his hand, "Go! Let me punish the Aravis severely!"
With a wave of his hand, all the players rushed out of the locker room.
The spikes of the sneakers hit the floor, making a thumping sound like a drumbeat...
The drumbeat of battle has already sounded...
